anon_uk Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Hi all, I know it needs considerable force to pull it off, but I really have put a hell of a lot off force and it going nowhere. I turned the collar clockwise until it clicked and started pulling, does anybody have any tips please? Also, does anybody know where I get a replacement silver insert for the top of the gear knob? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anon_uk Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 @Mavrik many thanks. Yes, I have seen that video and also tried the wedge but nothing. I even had one leg either side of the console to try and get enough leverage to pulling power, feels like a forged single piece! haha I don't believe it has been removed before on my car. Just wondered if there were any other tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougle_turbo Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I had to do this on mine a few weeks ago when I fitted the short shift kit. In the end I had to do it once the shifter was off the car. I could only get it free by holding it upside down and hitting it with a rubber mallet and some penetrating oil. If I were to do it with the unit in situ again I'd tape a pulling hammer to the gear knob and use that to tap it free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
